‘Always wanted to be an Air Force Pilot, was really good at studies’: Watch SRH batter Mayank Agarwal reveal his alternate career plan

Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Mayank Agarwal recently appeared in an interview and revealed his preferred pastimes outside of playing cricket.
In a video shared SRH on their official Youtube channel, the 32-year-old speaks about his favourite pastime activities, travelling plans and more.
“I love to travel. That would be on the top of the l. I would be planning on where we could go next and what we could do. And with family, you know, I love spending time at home. So I spend a lot of time with my family. Either we are doing a family activity, sometimes we play cards. We also like to go out for dinner,” Mayank said,
The Karnataka batter also revealed that he always wanted to be an Airforce Pilot and that he was really good at studies.

“As a kid, I was very fascinated aeroplanes and aircraft. I would usually spot it. Even if I couldn’t see it, I could usually hear, and then spot the plane in the sky. Always wanted to be an Air Force pilot. I must admit that was my dream,” he said.
“I am quite good at studies. My mum would back me up on that, but not my wife. She usually pulls my leg on that, but I was decent. I think I got 80% in my 10th grade and I did pretty well, and I think first class in the degree as well,” he added.
Speaking more about his wife, Mayank revealed that she supported him a lot during his early cricketing days and that she’d ask him to finish his practice first and then hang out with her.
“She is the kind of person who, even at that age, supported me and said that Mayank, focus on your cricket. You don’t have to miss practice or any of that to meet me. In fact, she encouraged me,” he said.

“She used to say that if we have to meet, why don’t you finish your practice and training, and only then let’s meet. She has always been the kind of person who has helped me grow. We hit it off in sync. I told her that playing for India was my topmost priority. And she understood that,” he added.
